Description
Potholes and Pavements: A Bumpy Ride on Britain's National Cycle Network
Journalist Laura Laker embarks on an odyssey to explore the UK's National Cycle Network, tracing its history and examining its current state. Along the way, she discovers beauty, friendship, and adventure, as well as the challenges and complexities of this national infrastructure.
From the Cairngorms to Cornwall, and from the Pennines to the South Wales coast, Laker lifts the lid on the politics, financing, and realities of the NCN, meeting high-profile companions along the way. With the potential to transform our climate, health, and wellbeing, this book is a thought-provoking journey that invites readers to consider the possibilities of a more sustainable future.
